I Have

I have climbed the mountain
I have gone insane
look under the rock and you will find the answer
look under the rock and you will find said question.
The one who sits on the landfill is rich
The one who appears insane is a wise man
I have already climbed that mountain
I have already gone insane.

Isn't that when the real journey begins? I like the simplicity of this and your effective use of repetition as you delve into the landfill. Very nice.

Anyone who is not insane today is not alive. Or if they are they most have no way of seeing, hearing, or feeling what goes on in this world. Welcome to Pathetic and nice write.

I like how this loops back, the pairs of lines, the simplicity. Thanks for this.

anyone who has ever had a notion in their heads, which varied slightly from the herd has been thought and labeled insane by the herdsmen and given exclusive rights to usage of the rubber room as reward for such a creative act as thinks to go its own way and not necessarily the road least traveled, but most certainly a road which is ours to pave in whatever method or direction or fashion our creativity dictates.
